Jason Holt celebrates drawing Hearts level with Celtic in the last meeting between the sides

JASON HOLT and Barcelona superstar Neymar share a claim to fame – they have both succeeded where many have failed by scoring past Fraser Forster this season.

But the Hearts comeback kid doesn’t care about being the one to wreck the Celtic keeper’s clean-sheet record today at Tynecastle – as long as the Jambos keep building an undefeated run of their own.

If Hearts don’t score in the first 31 minutes of the lunchtime clash Forster will beat the 1115-minute shut-out record set by Aberdeen’s Bobby Clark in 1971.

But all Hearts are thinking about is extending the four-game unbeaten streak they have strung together as they battle through one of the most challenging seasons in the club’s history.

And Holt, in line to make his first appearance since breaking his foot in November, would love to stick another goal past Forster for that reason alone.

He said: “Stopping Celtic’s records wouldn’t mean anything. It’s about getting something out of the game.

“It’s great for Forster going for his record but we are only interested in ourselves and getting a result.

“Forster is a top keeper and the record he is building speaks for itself so no one can argue about his qualities.

“I don’t know about putting me and Neymar in the same sentence! But it’s good to have scored against Celtic and if I can do it again I’ll be over the moon.

“My goal in that game back in September was just a shot from the edge of the box and thankfully it went in.

“Unfortunately we lost 3-1 but if we can match them in all areas then hopefully we can get something out of this one.”

Holt’s return brings a further boost for a Jambos side that has been on the up in the last four weeks.

The 21-year-old’s spell on the sidelines spared him the 7-0 thumping that Celtic dished out last time they visited Tynecastle on Scottish Cup duty on December 1.

But it was still painful to watch from the main stand and Holt revealed the players are determined never to suffer that way again.

He added: “As a player you want to be involved in every game, whether it’s a defeat, draw or win.

“Watching from the sides is frustrating because you just want to be out there helping the boys. It was a poor game for us but Celtic played exceptionally well.

“We let them off the hook a wee bit by not getting in their faces. You can’t allow them time on the ball because they have the quality players to get goals if you give them space.

“Three weeks later when we played them in the league we gave a better account of ourselves at Celtic Park when we lost 2-0. We did very well up until the late second goal and that is a performance to build on come Saturday.”

Having come through 90 minutes for the Under-20s on Wednesday, Holt feels ready to be pitched straight back into the action after his frustrating three-month lay-off.

He said: “I was surprisingly okay after Wednesday and it’s just good to get my first 90 minutes under my belt.

“It was especially frustrating to be out when the manager desperately needed bodies. When you’re injured there are always times when you think. ‘Am I ever going to get back?’

“But that’s nearly two weeks’ training under my belt and one full game so I feel strong and ready to go.”
